TNK-BP invites contractors to discuss high-tech equipment deliveries for major projects
TNK-BP will hold a discussion with contractors on the logistics of importing high-tech equipment for the Company’s major projects, aimed at achieving greater efficiency and pricing transparency.
TNK-BP is one of the biggest consumers of logistical services, spending around $24 million on freight forwarding services for high-tech equipment in 2011 alone. In line its strategic objectives, the Company is shipping a growing volume of equipment gas treatment and processing and gas-turbine power stations for major projects at mature fields in Orenburg Region, as well as new fields in Uvat and VCNG.
Olga Malyshkina, TNK-BP Vice President, Supply Chain Management, notes: “The Company is interested in long-term collaboration and the provision of the full range of complex freight forwarding services. This open dialogue with contractors in the form of a round table will give us the opportunity to discuss ways of working together more efficiently. TNK-BP is a reliable partner, which honours its commitments to contractors unconditionally and in full. TNK-BP’s rigorous transport safety standards and strict service quality requirements are essential preconditions for the successful execution of major projects in the regions where we operate.”
